Chapter 483: Renovation
Early the next morning, the eldest family of three came to the courtyard as usual, but this time, Xu Bin didn't stay long and left alone.
He found a small renovation company and agreed to come and see the shop at ten o'clock in the morning.
When I came to my own shop, I waited for a long time, and the small boss of the decoration company arrived, the small boss surnamed Liu, and there were two employees with him.
"Boss Liu, my request is very simple, open up the two shops, and then separate a small single room of 20 square meters in the southeast corner, and paint the walls again, and then check the wires, that's probably it."
Xu Bin introduced.
"Mr. Xu, where is the door? We can do it too. ”
At the moment, business is not good, and Boss Liu wants to take on more work, and he can earn a little bit.
"Can you make an LED display?"
"Yes, yes, it's just a bit expensive."
Xu Bin asked, "How much is a set?" ”
"The better ones cost 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and the cheaper ones cost more than 10,000 yuan."
"Why is it so expensive?" Xu Bin was surprised.
"There's no way, this thing has been discontinued a long time ago, and now I can only go to the second-hand market to buy goods, and the market price is there, and it can't be cheap."
"Forget it."
Xu Bin immediately dispelled the idea, instead of spending money on this, it is better to get a small blackboard and put it at the door, the effect should not be much worse.
Boss Liu was a little disappointed, if this order is completed, he will be able to earn at least 3,000 yuan.
"Mr. Xu, don't you think about it again? If you can trust me, I can help you get a cheaper set of goods, and you can get it for seven or eight thousand. ”
"Seven or eight thousand is also expensive, don't consider it." Xu Bin shook his head, "Let's continue to talk about the door, what kind of door can you do here, do you have any reference photos?" ”
"Yes, I have photos on my phone, they are all orders we received before, you can pick any style."
Xu Bin took the other party's mobile phone, then flipped through it, and quickly selected a door that looked very pleasing to the eye.
This is a wooden door head, which is cheaper and easy to install.
"That's it!"
Boss Liu showed a wry smile, the other party really chose the cheapest style, if it is an aluminum-plastic panel, or an Ali board, the price can be at least five or six times higher.
"Okay, do you need a design solution here? If not, we can also help with the design. ”
Xu Bin bowed his hand, and then took out his mobile phone, about the style of the door, his daughter had already designed it for him.
Xu Jingyi herself is a journalism major, and the bread in the professional class includes advertising design, which is just a piece of cake.
"Apple Digital? What a name! ”
Boss Liu exclaimed.
Seriously, why did Xu Jingyi choose such a name?
One is that it is easy to remember and catchy;
The second is to rub off on the heat, anyway, the giant went bankrupt and reorganized last year, which is said to be caused by the shortage of parts, which is the disadvantage of production outsourcing.
"Hehe, my daughter took it, it is said that it used to be a big brand!" Xu Bin said proudly.
"Indeed, with such a good name, it's hard for your store not to be popular!"
Boss Liu touted.
"Haha, I've borrowed your good words."
Seeing that the other party was happy, Boss Liu cautiously and tentatively said:
"Mr. Xu, do you still need a counter in your store?"
Xu Bin was quite surprised: "You also do this?" ”
"Of course! Alas, the current economic difficulties, the company can't make money, so it can only try its best to expand its business, after all, there are still more than a dozen employees to support! ”
Boss Liu directly put on a crying face.
"Okay, I've got it for you, how do you calculate the price?"
Xu Bin was originally a straight person, he values face very much, and his heart is not too bad, his character is the most unbearable for others to sell miserably.
"Don't worry, I have a car here, at most I can earn you a little freight, absolutely honest price."
"Gotta say a number, right?"
Xu Bin was not very satisfied, mainly because he was afraid of being pitted.
"Mr. Xu, let's do it, I'll go back and help you design the store first, let's buy the counter directly according to the design plan, and then come to discuss the price, what do you think?"
Xu Bin felt that what the other party said was reasonable, so he agreed.
"Okay, just do as you say."
"Thank you... Thank you ......."
Next, Xu Bin followed the other party back to the company, and then the two parties initialed a decoration contract.
In addition to the counter cost, the other costs add up to less than 20,000 yuan, mainly because the labor cost is cheap.
In addition, the construction period is also very short, and Boss Liu patted his chest and promised that it would be completed in three days at most.
……
In the blink of an eye, the next day came.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yanjing South Station.
Xu Bin never expected that his brother-in-law was in such a hurry, so he came over with the child just one day later.
"Uncle, we're here."
Xu Jingyi's eyes were quick, and she hurriedly waved her hand at her uncle and cousin.
Tan Aimin immediately squeezed over with his son.
Xu Bin stepped forward to take the luggage of the two, they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, and the father and son seemed to have become thinner again, but they were in good spirits.
"Hello, aunt, uncle, cousin!"
Tan Bangxiang hurriedly said hello.
Tan Aifang pulled her nephew to her and couldn't help complaining, "Why did you lose weight like this?" I wasn't so thin last time I went back! ”
"Sister, Bang Xiang has no education, so he can only follow me to do coolies, this is also a helpless thing, who let him study hard by himself!
If he had half of Jingyi's grades, I would have woken up with a smile in my dreams, and this kid now knows that he regrets it, but it's too late. ”
Tan Ai sighed.
"It's not too late, what's too late, as long as you're willing to work hard, where can't you get ahead?" Tan Aifang hurriedly comforted.
When Tan Bangxiang heard this, he immediately assured his aunt:
"Auntie, I'm not afraid of hardship."
"Good boy, when you get to your aunt's place, you don't have to endure hardship, as long as you are willing to work hard."
Tan Bangxiang nodded seriously.
He heard his parents say that his uncle's family seems to be developed, and helping his uncle to work may be a good way out.
The young man has suffered too much in the past few years, he really doesn't want to live the same life as before, not only is the work hard and tiring, but also often discriminated against by outsiders, and he is angry when he thinks about it.
No matter what, staying in Yanjing is better than staying in Luyang.
Xu Bin saw that a few people were chatting endlessly, so he quickly interrupted: "Okay, it's not too early, and if you don't take a taxi, you won't be able to take a taxi!" ”
"Let's go, let's go home first."
The train station is not far from Jingzhiyuan, only about two kilometers, and the group took two taxis and arrived home in less than ten minutes.
"Aimin, Bangxiang, come in."
Tan Aimin carefully looked at the furnishings in the house, and couldn't help but praise:
"Sister, your house is good!"
"What's good, the rented house is not bought, a house here in the city costs tens of millions, and your brother-in-law and I can't afford it for the rest of our lives without eating or drinking."
"Ahem!" Xu Bin hurriedly coughed: "Jingyi's grandfather said that he would help our family buy a big house in the future, and this is just a transition." ”
"Sister, you and your brother-in-law are going to be happy."
Tan Aimin said with envy.
Tan Aifang waved her hand: "What kind of blessing do you enjoy, the company at home still owes billions of dollars to the bank, and if you want to live in a new house, you don't know if you have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!" ”
Tan Aimin's father and son instantly became dumbfounded when they heard that there were billions of billions, not to mention billions of billions, even if it was at the level of millions, it would be an astronomical amount for them.
Xu Bin was very upset that his wife dismantled the stage, but it was not easy to have a seizure, so he could only beckon everyone to sit down and eat.
Tan Aifang had already prepared dinner and was putting it in the steamer to keep warm, a total of five dishes and one soup.
There are two meat dishes, one is braised salted fish, and one is fried dried shrimp with green peppers; The three vegetarian dishes are scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried lettuce, and stewed tofu with Chinese cabbage.
The soup is kombu egg soup, and the staple food is rice.
Seeing such a sumptuous dinner, Tan Aimin and his son couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva, and they were really developed, and they actually ate so well.
Xu Bin took out a bottle of moss wine from the cabinet:
"Aimin, Bangxiang, do you want to drink two glasses?"
Tan Aimin hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't drink it, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to catch the train!" ”
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's hard to come to Yanjing, play for a few days and then go back? Tan Aifang persuaded.
"I can't play, I took a day off in total, and when I went back late, my work was gone."
Tan Aimin said helplessly.
"If the job is gone, it's gone, it's a big deal to look for it again!"
"Sister, it's not as easy as you think, there are few job opportunities in Luyang, and now this job is what I found through a lot of relationships, it's a pity to lose it.
If it weren't for the child's mother's disagreement, I would have wanted to go to Huaiyi, the coal mine over there is recruiting, and I heard that the salary can be 10,000 per month. ”
Tan Aifang was anxious when she heard this: "Yuewan can't go, you are stupid, how dangerous the coal mine is, Miao Miao is still so small, if you have a case, what should this family do?" ”
"Aimin, your sister is right, you can't do anything." Xu Bin helped persuade.
"Bang Xiang is an adult, and with him, the family can't collapse! Besides, even if I really have an accident, there is compensation in the mine, which is enough for their mother to live for ten years, and it is worth it. ”
"Phew, what nonsense, our family hasn't reached that point yet." Tan Aifang took out the momentum of the eldest sister.
Tan Aimin smiled bitterly: "Sister, I just thought about it, and I didn't plan to really go." ”
"I can't even think about it."
Xu Jingyi saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly interjected: "Dad, Mom, uncle, let's eat quickly, if you don't eat, the food will be cold." ”
"Yes, yes, eat first, if you have anything to say, wait until you finish eating."
Xu Bin echoed.
For a meal, although Tan Aimin and his son tried their best to restrain themselves, they still ate it, but fortunately, the meal was light, so there was no need to worry about gastrointestinal discomfort.
After the meal, Tan Aimin took out a gift box from his duffel bag and handed it to his niece.
"Jingyi, I heard that you went to work at the newspaper, and my uncle has a gift for you here."
"Uncle, no need."
Xu Jingyi hurriedly excused herself.
"Take it, this is a part of your brother-in-law and aunt's heart."
Tan Aimin put the box in his niece's hand.
Xu Jingyi glanced at her mother, and Tan Aifang smiled: "Since it was given to you by your uncle, you can accept it!" ”
"Thank you, uncle!"
